Flagship 02 / ZJX - Current release: ZJX 1.25.1 NIGHTMARKET
Store more history. Spend less to keep it.
ZJX 1.25.1 NIGHTMARKET is a Linux-first lossless archive system with native canonical tooling and explicit compact and fast packing objectives for telemetry, logs, workflow artifacts, repeated snapshots, and other structured data whose retention cost grows faster than its value.

Controlled NIGHTMARKET qualification campaign. See methodology and evidence.
Positive-median wall savings in 4 / 4 primary corpus families. Measured in the controlled NIGHTMARKET qualification campaign. Figures apply to the frozen laboratory host, four corpora, commands, repetitions, and thresholds of the qualifying campaign; they are not guarantees for other machines, files, codecs, or workloads.
Historical proof - storage efficiency
Structured history is valuable. Repetition is expensive.
Operational data often repeats schemas, keys, values, and event shapes across millions of records. General-purpose archives can preserve it, but they do not always exploit that structure efficiently.
Historical size evidence from the published telemetry campaign (see methodology). It covers the complete retained archive and the strongest completed comparator in a 14-baseline run - not a NIGHTMARKET measurement.

Boundaries
Results depend on schema, repetition, metadata requirements, and operating environment. ZJX does not claim a universal win across every log, table, document, source tree, or media workload.
It complements backup, encryption, access control, retention, and disaster recovery. It does not replace them.
Validate before deployment
Bring one expensive archive lane.
Greyforge can measure ZJX against serious comparators, verify the retained archive, and return an evidence packet for technical review.
